Chapter 373: Despite her reluctance and hatred for Rosie, Julia didn't dare stop her and followed her to the third floor.
When Brenna opened the door, she looked momentarily surprised before asking Julia, “Didn't I already mention that I didn't want these dresses? Why are they still being brought up?"

Recalling Rosie's previous stay in the house, she remembered how Rosie had often demeaned the staff with her harsh words and arrogant demeanor. Even after her departure, she still behaved as though she commanded authority here. It seemed Rosie still hadn't realized her place.

You are crossing a line by treatinglike I am beneath you." Brenna and Ellie couldn't suppress their laughter, clearly amused by Julia's candidness.
Brenna laughed lightly and addressed Rosie, saying, "Your manner of speaking really is unique. Nowadays, we strive for equality for everyone. She may be a maid, but she earns her keep by working here; she is not someone beneath you. Perhaps you ought to show a bit more respect." Despite her boiling anger, Rosie had to keep her emotions in check; she needed to stay composed for her plan to humiliate Brenna to proceed.

Julia let out a mocking scoff as she grabbed the two bags, dropping them carelessly onto the floor. Sheshot a scornful glare at both the manager and Rosie. What difference did it make that they had carried the bags upstairs? Brenna hadn't even spared them a glance.
Rosie, overwhelmed by frustration, said to Brenna, "I spent a great m amount of moneylon these dresses, and this is how you repay my kind gesture?"

You ordered three dresses for me. And what happened? All three were mysteriously ruined. On such an important occasion, I almost had nothing to wear."
